“Straight Hairstyles”
Description
Alternative long straight hairstyles are ones that stand apart from fashionable, conventional and classic hairstyles. They are best described as unusual, daring, bright, fun, avante-garde, geometric and exaggerated- with elements of punk.
Method
Often anything goes with an alternative hairstyle: the crazier the better. Long straight looks vary from geometric shapes and defined lines to big smooth updos in very dark or light colors that add intensity and attract attention.
Benefit
If you want to feel free of fashion, then go for it. Or, if you want to bolster your marketing campaign, then an alternative hairstyle may be a good choice. But beware because most long styles will take some work to change and dark colors could result in damaged hair. If you're concerned why not try a shorter alternate look?

Christina Aguilera made an in-store appearance to promote her Back to Basics: Live and Down Under DVD. Her locks were blow-dried outwards (with a bit of flair) to show-off sliced layers through the back and sides.

Sure, it's a more relaxed style, but maybe the event called for just a little more effort.Gender: Women
